NAIVE TEXAS PASTOR is fighting ‘Islamophobia’ – in other words, feeding the crocodile and praying to God that he will be eaten last

A pastor in Keller, Texas continues to push back against so-called “Islamophobia” after making national news for standing up for Muslims when Rev. Franklin Graham said they should be stopped from immigrating to the U.S. after the massacre of 5 U.S. servicemen in Chattanooga by a Muslim.

“During World War 2, we didn’t allow Japanese to immigrate to America, nor did we allow Germans,” Graham wrote. “Why are we allowing Muslims now?”

Last month, Roberts stood with American Muslim leaders on Capitol Hill to challenge Graham’s comments.

“I was so sad when I read the Facebook posting of Franklin Graham,” Roberts said in a report by the Religion News Service. “This is not ‘evangelical’ and even less evangelistic. I don’t want American Muslims to think we fear them or that they are our enemies.”

In 2011, his church had an event to promote Muslim-Christian cooperation. The Building Bridges with Fellow Texans event drew 2,500 people. Roberts said, the interfaith effort draws criticism in the U.S. from people who don’t understand the mission or don’t see how hate speech here can put Christians in danger in Pakistan by provoking extremists.

“Christians in America are very concerned about what is happening to Christians in Pakistan,” Roberts said. “What they don’t understand is how they treat Muslims here — what they say to the media here — affects Christians in Pakistan and Syria and all over the world.”

Christian leaders and Muslims met in Nepal last year, and the initial talks led to meetings in Texas and Pakistan. Those gatherings resulted in a commitment by American Christians to look out for Muslims here and by Muslims to look out for Christians and other minorities in Pakistan.

Roberts’ work with the grand imam and Channan echoes biblical teachings of the golden rule, which asks people to treat others as they would like to be treated.

“I’m a Baptist so I am passionate about religious freedom,” Roberts said. “I have to be concerned about freedom of religion for the Muslim in America. If I want freedom of religion for the Christian in Muslim countries, I need to be very concerned about that here.”

Christians have no business dialogiclng with lying muslims and their hateful moon god religion. This must be a joke. Bob Roberts is no evangelical. Jesus Christ is the only way to know God. Islam is a wicked cult and must be exposed for what it really is: a false religion, a wicked political system and anti-American. It is not a religion of peace like our brainless former president said.

“The Golden Rule is implicitly expressed in some verses of the Quran, but is explicitly declared in the sayings of Muhammad. A common transliteration is: ِAheb li akheek ma tuhibu li nafsik. This can be translated as “Wish for your BROTHER, what you wish for yourself” or “Love your BROTHER as you love yourself”.

“In Islam the Golden Rule is RESERVED SOLELY FOR FELLOW MOSLEMS. Quran verse 48:29 states: Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. and whilst there may be many verses that state that a Muslim should love their brother, the Quran makes it clear that Muslims are but a single brotherhood.”

There is one group in particular whom I fear is behind this and it is ISNA (Islamic Society of North America). This group has a particular penchant for so-called “interfaith” b.s. when really their goal is to infiltrate Churches and Christian groups with their taqiyya rhetoric to weaken them!

ISNA is Muslim Brotherhood, and yes, ISNA’s major focus is on Interfaith Dialogue/Dawah Outreach. Its imams go after everybody they can with the “sweet” words of Islam to draw them into the web; they are particularly happy when they wrap up a pastor or preacher or priest or rabbi. They get the everyday discontented individuals (aka “low hanging fruit”) at Open Mosque Day(s) and turn these people on with outright lies and half-truths about Islam. I urge anyone who wants to know how this works, and it works very well, to read Stephen Coughlin’s book, Catastrophic Failure. There is a section on Interfaith Dialogue in it which explains exactly what happens to the person’s mind that’s caught in it. None of the comments below actually pertain to Roberts. Consider his mind blank now, incapable of true thinking; he is lost to reason or facts now that Islam’s “Dialogue” has him.

The poor, delusional, religious idiot ! He walks into the smiling face of death, turning the other cheek so the Filthy muslims can cut that one off too.
If he really believes the bull they’re putting out about being all about love, he is far too stupid to have a congregation.

Just think of the people he is misleading with his moronic preaching. he is guilty of spreading pernicious cancer.

Bob Roberts is a victim of Interfaith Outreach/Dialogue. He will never be able to get his head straight; Islam has him in his clutches, same as the Pope and other Islam apologists. ANYtime you hear preachers or others behaving like this, they’ve drunk the Kool Aid. Roberts’ might have started out just a guy wearing rose-colored glasses wanting to see and do good, but he got used, misused, and abused and now can’t see anything right. The big problem here is how many others he and his Dialogue partners are blinding. And the second big problem is that this newspaper, the Star Telegram, in its ideological blindness is carrying the Muslim Brotherhood’s/Islam’s water just as much as Roberts is. The best way to stop that is to make sure the ST goes out of business — no subscriptions, no advertising, no paper. It’s one of our best ways to stop the spread of jihad in the US, because Interfaith Dialogue IS jihad.

I do not believe this false “pastor” is naive. He appears to be a servant of satan trying to lead innocent humans to destruction. To treat sub-human mudslimes with kindness is like “casting pearls before swine.”

Can someone remind this pastor that infidels are all people but muslims. And that the Koran says to kill the infidels. His statement is about as true as someone who dislikes the warmongering totalitarian ideals of Islam and is called a racist. Geez the blind leading the blind here. And yes the sheep that follow. 2500 would rather here what he has to say then look up information themselves. I can’t think of what worship songs Christians and Islamists could sing together. Love your neighbor, kill the infidel, give your life for another, cut their right hand and left foot off. Nope that doesn’t work. The more I read of Islam the more it seems that they worship Mohommad more than anything. Emulate him. P be upon him. He is DEAD. And no their “god” is not the GOD of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

oh man…..”Bob Roberts’ is evidently jealous of the wonderful Franklin Graham and sees this as a BIG chance to score some media face time…..and get his Church some publicity and donations also.

Hey Boob, just to clue you in….. I AM an American and I DO fear the Muslims and I want them to know that I do think of them as my enemy. yep…ALL MUSLIMS. I do not discriminate. ALL Muslims. Because I think their allegiance is to ALLAH…first, last. ALWAYS.

They probably seem ‘nice’ co workers and neighbors. to the uninformed …BUT………. if they are practicing Muslims….all bets are off. They will turn and sell you out in a MINUTE. I wouldnt trust any ….EVER.

Most preachers today are Unitarian universalists (aka cultural Marxists) no matter what label they use. Roberts in Keller is a slackjaw Choctaw which should be feed to a Louisiana alligator without delay.

PT Barnum famously said that there’s a sucker born every day. Enter Pastor Roberts. He wants to be an angel so badly that he’ll dance with the devil to get his wings. Notice that he’s the only one smiling in that photo…like a lamb to the slaughter…

“I don’t want American Muslims to think we fear them or that they are our enemies.”

Well, I guess he’s advocating for getting rid of the Quran then since the Quran tells Muslims that they are the enemies of all unbelievers forever.

This guy is so uneducated that it’s beyond belief. He wants to live by the golden rule. That’s great, but it seems to fail to occur to him that there is NO golden rule in Islam and, in fact, the rule in Islam is quite the opposite.

Things like the golden rule only work when everyone lives by the golden rule, otherwise you end up getting stabbed in the back by someone who doesn’t believe in it.

His time would be better spent telling Muslims why Islam is false and trying to convert them to Christianity like David Wood does.

Sad, naive foolish man. Does he not know that his church is now part of the ummah? He needs to do a little reading up on true islam. These are the kind of people who will be eaten first when TSHTF. Think of the Eloi.

I can understand people in the West being ignorant about this wild cult, but for a Christian from Pakistan to behave like a dhimmi after he has witnessed what this evil Cult can do to innocent people when they have the numbers is appalling! I do hope his Church send him back top Pakistan on a sabbatical to preach there! He needs a refresher course on the true Islam!

Yes. In Pakistan there are blasphemy laws according to which you are persecuted if you even drink in the same cup of a muslim. Just google out Asia Bibi and you will find out how christians are treated in Pakistan. This Pakistani Christian pastor is a pig and acting like a dhimmi only to be awarded by muslims for his treachery. Infact, it could be him who brought Bob Roberts here. Whether it is US or Pakistan, both have ignorant and traitor leaders who is on the side of the enemy.

One useful idiot leading another 2500 useful idiots. What a disgusting event and the numbers of sheep in attendance is very disturbing. What this useful idiot fails to realize is that western Christians could give the Muztards everything under the sun and then some, and it still wont make a difference, Christians will still be killed in Pakistan and other Muztard hellholes. It has nothing to do with how they are treated over here, their homicidal tendencies are a combination of the Koran and the sense of entitlement that Koran has instilled in them. If anything they are treated much better here in the west than they deserve to be. but this guy here has pretty much declared to them that they are rock stars, his actions are inexcusable, for being a pastor, he should know better. Islam has declared itself an enemy of Christianity and all other religions right from the very get go, so as a pastor, I think that if he really isn’t a clueless idiot, then he is a traitor to Christians everywhere.

Infidel Pride:
Yes he is a clueless idiot. His grin in the picture reminds me of those televangelists and late night radio preachers who pronounce Christian ” Kris-Cheee-an” and that plead with Grandma to send them three dollars for a “prayer card” or a “special blessing”.
So do you suppose he might be an “Elmer Gantry” ? (“say Baby !”)
Does he wear a white suit and “Pat Boone” shoes ?

Naive idiot pastor Bob Roberts needs to read the Koran. Then he needs to ask his Muslim friends if they think Mohammed was the perfect example for all Muslims to emulate. Then ask the Muslims exactly what he did that makes him the perfect man. Also ask if Mohammad ever beheaded anyone, or if the married a 6 year old and had sex with her when she was nine, or if he owned slaves, bought and sold slaves, ordered assassinations, committed genocide, hated gays, thought women were worth half of a man, or if he thought Jews and Christians should be subjugated, terrorized or killed. Finally he should ask his Muslim friends if they are would like to emulate Mohammad or if they are actually emulating him. Or he could just go on being a naive idiot.

Well “pastor ” may I remind you? “If anyone sees you, a man of knowledge at table in an idol’s temple, might he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? And so by your knowledge this weak man is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. Thus sinning against your brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if that food is the cause of my brother’s falling, I will never eat meat lest I cause my brother to fall. (I Corinthians : 10-13).

No “pastor ” we who speak out are not the cause of the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Christ. ISLAM and its hate preaching imams, their fatwas and followers are the cause! How dare you suggest otherwise while you lead your parishioners astray? Instead of parading yourself in public pretending to be so much more enlightened than the rest of us perhaps you should spend more time on your knees praying for forgiveness and guidance! Maybe “pastor ” instead of trying to grandstand and putting your own image first, it would behoove you to put GOD first!! You have been deceived.

Somebody who maintains a FB account needs to contact Pastor Roberts (after clicking on his name in the article) and give him an earful of wisdom on the death cult that is Islam. Bonni, please ask your readers who’re on FB to to educate his ignorant backside on Islam and ask him to cease pandering to Koranimals.

Only one question remains…How much did they pay him to sell out his entire flock? This “man”, Roberts, with the cheshire cat smile in the 1st photo is the only one smiling, but not for long when the muslims start behaving badly…like muslims do. One day he will feel the full force of God’s judgement for putting his flock in danger. Run away flock, quickly!

This “pastor” is a typical dhimmi who doesn’t know his head from his butt. I guess his Bible is missing Genesis 12:3, when God Himself told Abraham “he who blesses you I will bless, and he who curses you I will curse.”
$50 says he is a Replacement Theologist heretic as well.

Poor soul, he doesn’t understand he may be last, but he will still be eaten.
These types are the biggest enemy.
The uneducated and ignorant will follow these fools.
Declare war on islam and sort it.
Bypass arab countries.
Live in peace.

The ignorance of so many thousands of Americans….including Pastor Bob Roberts for one….apparently knows absolutely nothing about the Koran…or the proclamation that islam intends world infiltration and dominance.
